Or if you believe that your identity at an earlier time can be shared, to some extent, amongst backups/ duplicates at a later time.>> <In a different universe a "back-up" will become a different personality within seconds of its generation.> I don't want to start a new thread here but, I have to respond to the above by saying: Not really. Personality, by definition refers to relatively stable mental and behavioral attributes. Your back up would have the same personality as you for just as long as you would have your personality which is a long time. No one meeting your back up would be able to tell the difference between you two for quite a while, despite their having a different set of experiences.
